If you're planning to start doing backups to a flash drive, consider
reformatting it to ext4. Most Linux backup software will use links to
save space when the file hasn't changed, but you can't do that in vfat.
Right now, I have a 16GB flash drive with 17.3GB used and 14.5GB
available, which will give you an idea of how much more economical this
is. And, if you're not planning on keeping (at least) /home backed up,
you should.
